Motion Detection Menu

Use the MOTION DETECTION menu to turn motion detection ON/OFF, adjust the sensitivity of the detection, and set the required action when a motion event is triggered


NEWAPP13.png


Environmental Mode Menu

Use ENVIRONMENT MODE menu to select the appropriate mode for the cameras viewing environment:

NEWAPP14.png


  • INDOOR MODE: Used for normal indoor environments (50-60Hz)

Power line frequency or mains frequency is the frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in an electric power grid transmitted from a power plant to the end-user. In large parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although here in America, and some parts of Asia it is typically 60 Hz. AirSight IP cameras have multi-voltage (100-240VAC, 50-60Hz) power supplies for use in both environments - the Light Frequency is simply to communicate to the software which one is in use - however it is unlikely that changing from 50Hz to 60Hz will provide a noticeable difference.


  • OUTDOOR MODE: Used for cameras mounted outdoors or facing out windows

NOTE: Facing a camera out a window renders them useless for night time viewing due to the reflection of the IR LEDs.


  • NIGHT MODE: Select this mode if Night Vision is the sole operating environment

The AirSight IP cameras will switch to Night Vision in all environmental modes when a change in light is detected. NIGHT MODE should only be chosen if the camera will not be utilized in daylight environments.


About Device Menu

The cameras current firmware version can be located in the ABOUT DEVICE menu under VERSION

For AirSight models with SD recording features, you can also determine the size of the on-board SD card (not included) as well as the amount of free space available.
